Special Sessions

Approved special sessions

The following special sessions have been approved for CPE-POWERENG 2027. Authors interested in contributing can select the special session when submitting the proposal or can contact the organizers of each session to discuss any doubt.

SS01 Advances in Power Converter Topologies and Control Strategies for Sustainable and Resilient DC Electrification

Growing demand for efficient and reliable power supplies in buildings, data centers, and electric vehicles is driving research into DC electrification. DC systems can reduce conversion losses, integrate renewable energy and storage, and improve power delivery. This special session explores advances in converter topologies, control, protection, and system integration for sustainable and resilient DC infrastructure. Topics include DC microgrids, AC grid integration, renewable energy, storage, IT loads, electric vehicle charging, and coordinated energy management. Researchers are invited to share approaches and experimental results addressing efficiency, reliability, scalability, and interoperability to support the wide adoption of DC systems.

Organizers: Niwton G. Feliciani dos Santos (Department of Electrical Power Engineering and Mechatronics, Tallinn University of Technology, 19086 Tallinn, Estonia); Edivan Laercio Carvalho (NOVA School of Science and Technology, UNINOVA-CTS and LASI, NOVA University Lisbon, Caparica, Portugal); Riccardo Mandrioli (Department of Electrical, Electronic, and Information Engineering, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy); Carlos Roncero-Clemente (School of Industrial Engineering, University of Extremadura, Campus Universitario, Badajoz, Spain).

SS02 Artificial Intelligence and Digital Twins for Power-Electronics-Dominated Energy Systems

Electrical energy systems are rapidly becoming power-electronics-dominated: solar, wind, batteries, electric-vehicle chargers, electrolysers and fast-growing data-centre loads all connect through converters. This transformation raises new challenges in stability, power quality, electromagnetic compatibility and reliability that conventional model-based tools struggle to address at scale. Artificial intelligence, machine learning and digital twins now offer powerful ways to design, control, monitor and protect these systems. This special session invites original contributions on data-driven, physics-informed and hybrid methods, from device and converter level up to grid scale, with emphasis on experimental validation, real-time implementation and industrial case studies, bringing together the power electronics, power systems and EMC communities.

Organizers: Dr. Shady Khalil (University of Hertfordshire, United Kingdom); Dr. Vijayakumar Gali (University of Hertfordshire, United Kingdom); Dr. Amira Mohammed (University of Hertfordshire, United Kingdom); Dr. Majdi Mansouri (Sultan Qaboos University, Oman); Dr. Mostafa Farrag (University of Hertfordshire, United Kingdom); Dr. Mohamed Massaoudi (Tarleton State University, Texas, USA).
